Food and agro
Grains, pulses and food ingredients where safety documents are part of the product.
Food and agricultural trade is decided on paperwork as much as on the cargo: phytosanitary certificates, origin, quality analysis and crop-year discipline.
TTC works with producers and buyers who treat food-safety documents as part of what is being sold.
Product families typically inquired
- Grains and pulses
- Edible oils
- Food ingredients
Families listed under each industry describe the types of RFQs TTC handles. Availability, origin, grade and volume are confirmed per inquiry after screening. They are not a stock list.
What belongs in a food and agro RFQ
- Quality parameters (moisture, foreign matter, crop year, grade)
- Quantity, packing and destination
- Incoterm with a named place
- Phytosanitary, veterinary or other sanitary documents the destination requires
- Inspection or quality analysis at which stage
Quality, sanitary documents and inspection
Quality analysis describes the lot against contract parameters. Phytosanitary or veterinary certificates are official plant- or animal-health documents; they are not a substitute for a specification. Surveyor inspection, where required, should be nominated in the RFQ.
Documents often coordinated
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Certificate of origin
- Quality analysis against the contract specification
- Phytosanitary or veterinary certificates where the destination requires them

If you have a specification, send the RFQ.
A complete inquiry can be reviewed and quoted. There is no public price list and submitting an RFQ does not create an obligation.
